"Where are you staying?" I asked him. He was just constantly giving me glances while driving.

"At a condo. Do you want to go there?" He asked. We were planning have a movie marathon or play in an arcade. But the latter would make Veign and I more tired. First day pa lang ng festival. There's four more to go.

"Pwede?" He nodded.

"Let's just buy take out food," He said, smiling at me. Ang good mood naman ng taong 'to.

Usually, heavy traffic just ticks me off and makes me want to throw a tantrum. But now, I'm wishing that we would take an hour inside his car.

We chatted about many things. I then knew that he was majoring Political Science. It was kind of a disappointment in his family since he was expected to help in their family business. "I've always followed them in what they want because they've always wanted what was best for me. But this is my dream. I've always dreamt of having the title 'Attorney' before my name."

I smiled. "Nandyan pa rin naman ang Kuya Void mo. I bet he'll handle it," I said while looking at him drive. Memorizing every detail of his face. Realizing that he has a mole on his right jaw going to his ear. Realizing that his nose is more pointed than I expected. Realizing how his adam's apple is very visible and how it makes him a million times more sexier. Realizing that he's damn photogenic in any angle.  Realizing that no matter what; I'll always fall for him.

Realizing that....

That...

I'm falling deeper.

He shooked his head. "Kuya Void is a rebel. It's his thing. He's the black sheep of the family. So my parents are expecting me to follow my father's footsteps when the time comes," He explained.

Damn, ang hirap pala ng sitwasyon nya.

I smiled at him uncomfortably. "I'm sorry," I silently said. He looked at my way and held my hand which was rested on my lap.

"Don't be." He shrugged.

We just laughed and chatted the whole ride until we arrived in a supermarket. He was pushing a cart while I was behind him; snapping pictures of him secretly. God, I'm so inlove with his broad shoulders.

While we were in the vegetable section, Veign was challenging me to cook for the both of us. It made my blood go all the way down to my feet. The only dishes that I was capable of cooking are frozen foods, eggs and noodles!

"Wait, don't tell me..." He looked at me. He was turning red because he was obviously suppressing a laugh.

"Shut it," I deadpanned. He just laughed hard. Umiiling-iling syang kumuha ng iba't ibang klase ng gulay. "I didn't know that you're a vegetarian," I said. I pouted.

"Hindi naman. We just need to keep them in our lives to be healthy." I nodded. "Just how I need you in my life," He mumbled slowly. I started heating up. I pursed my lips to stop myself from smiling widely. I secretly glanced at Veign, his ears were turning red.

Baklang 'to. Kinikilig din.

"Kinikilig ka ba?!"

His eyes widened. "Ha? Why would I be?" He said as he left the vegetable section.

Ang labo ng gagong 'to.

I saw him again in the junk food section. Kumukuha sya ng iba't ibang junk. He glanced at some biscuits and cookies and placed some in his cart. I was just looking at him. He seemed so independent. I followed him to the refrigerator and saw him get some softdrinks, juices and alcohol.
